I don't know if you remember this guy from the whole revenge porn thing a few years back, but he ran for office in my area so now Facebook makes sure to always show his comments, as he's a verified person.

But I noticed something extra pathetic in an interaction between him and another notable terrible person:





He likes his own comments.

Listen up Buttercups! As someone who actually grew up watching PePe LePew (and all those “BAD” Saturday morning cartoons), I never saw Pepe as a rapist or promoting rapist culture. I didn’t even know what a rapist was. I WAS A CHILD!
Let me impart my CHILDHOOD thoughts:
The only reason I ever thought the cat tried to get away from Pepe was because she was in fact, A CAT and he was a SKUNK. (For those of you who are biologically/scientifically challenged... Skunks and Cats ARE completely different animals.) Skunks also smelled... bad.
I distinctly remember watching and thinking:
If Pepe catches up with her, she’s going to need a bath.
That’s it.
DEAR CANCEL CULTURE:
STOP READING MORE INTO OUR CHILDHOOD CARTOONS, BREAKFAST FOOD ICONS, VEHICLE NAMES, and everything else. No one became a rapist, racist, murderer, animal abuser, or dropper of anvils from watching our vintage Saturday morning cartoons while eating Aunt Jemima pancakes. You are, IN FACT, idiots, looking for attention due to the lack of parental fortitude in YOUR own lives.
You are walking, talking, “grown” infants. Screaming when you don’t get your way resulting in showing the world how truly absurd you are.
How about WE THE PEOPLE cancel YOU because WE are offended by your feckless, pansy , stupidity!

GOOD STORY

Lord help us because this is most likely a “true“ story.

John lives in California.

He was sick of the world, of Covid-19, Trump, Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories, that occupy media headlines.

John drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could.

He got back into his car, and wound down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle.

Five days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car.

She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling John from the car.

A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.

John is a registered Democrat.

I just came up with the idea for a reality show where we take older people who have never lived in a city in their entire lives, who dwell in suburbs just outside of dense urban areas, who consume a steady diet of network news and facebook memes, and we drive them around "bad neighborhoods" and show them kids playing and people grilling and normal folks grocery shopping working on their cars cleaning their gutters etc etc

It'd never work.

"Obviously this is all staged."
Or "Well sure, some neighborhoods are better than others."

Same reason my idea for a show where you arm a bunch of open-carry idiots with paintball guns at a fake concert/sporting event/someplace crowded, and tell them that one of them is the mass shooter (twist being that none of them are the mass shooter) would never work. There's always going to be an excuse about why that didn't count.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

A gun rights group tried to model the Charles Hebdo attack with an armed civilian and couldn't get one instance where that person stopped the attack - the only iteration where they even survived was when they ran away. Nothing was learned from this.

A couple years ago in this thread or one of the other political threads, someone showed me a Jordan Klepper clip when he had his own show doing the whole "be a parody of Tucker Carlson" thing, and he went to some gun safety course where he "died" a dozen times before they even started the school shooting scenario.

This literally happened with my dad last year.

When Austin city council briefly pretended to defund the police in 2020, right wing media went insane painting it as some post-apocalyptic crimeworld nightmare. He had to come to town for some reason and so my sister and I took him out to dinner, and he was amazed that everything was peaceful and everyone was outside walking around without fear, restaurants had outdoor dining, nobody was getting murdered in front of him etc.

He didn't learn anything though.

I remember that Las Vegas shooting, which involved the shooter sniping concert-goers from a hotel rooftop. Even several gun nuts had to admit that no "good guy with a gun" could do anything about that. Man, there have been so many shootings, I've already forgotten about the Hebdo one.

quote:

The Truth About Guns organizes events, runs an active online presence for gun advocates and publishes gun reviews and articles such as “Debunking the ‘No One Wants to Take Your Guns’ Myth”. It has also run simulations of mass school shootings, to try to determine whether armed teachers could stop a shooter.

Wait aren't these the people who believe that teachers are part of a liberal conspiracy to dye your kids' hair blue? And now they want to arm them?

Fox films everything in a fortified basement bunker because they're afraid something like that will happen. They think it'll be antifa supersoldiers instead of their own rabid fanbase, of course, but nonetheless.
